Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers the characteristic mechanical be-havi

It

Significance and Use3.1 Low temperature testing of rubber can yield repeatableresults only if

8、the preconditioning of the samples is consistent.Properties such as brittleness and modulus are greatly affectedby variations in time/temperature exposures. This practice isintended to provide uniform conditioning for the various lowtemperature tests conducted on rubbers.4. General Conditioning4.1 A

9、t least 16 h should elapse between vulcanization andtesting of a sample.4.1.1 If the time between vulcanization and testing is lessthan 16 h, it shall be agreed upon between customer andsupplier and noted in the report section of the test methodemployed.5. Simple Temperature Effects (Viscoelasticity

10、)5.1 Most elastic properties of rubber change as the tempera-ture is changed.As the temperature is reduced toward the glasstransition temperature, Tg, the specimen becomes increasinglystiff, loses resilience, and increases in modulus and hardness.At some point, still above Tg, the resilience reaches

11、 a mini-mum. As the temperature is lowered beyond this point, theresilience then increases until a temperature just above Tgisreached.5.2 Viscoelastic changes are usually complete as soon as thespecimen has reached thermal equilibrium. Longer exposuretime should be avoided to minimize crystallizatio

12、n orplasticizer-time effects that might influence the test results. Themagnitude of these changes depends on the composition of thematerial and the test temperature.6. Glass Transition6.1 Glass transition is a reversible physical change in amaterial from a viscous or rubbery state to a brittle glass

13、y state(refer to Terminology D 1566: transition, glass; transitionsecond order). It does not involve a change in phase and is nota thermodynamic change. It generally occurs over a smalltemperature range. It is designated as Tg. The Tgof polymers,obtained from measurements of change of modulus withch

14、ange in temperature, depend upon both the rate of specimendeformation and the rate of temperature change.

Thus, thermal expansivityand specific heat appear discontinuous at Tg.6.2 Some rubbers such as copolymers or polymer blendsmay show more than a single Tgbecause of separate contribu-tions by their polymeric components. There may also bedamping peaks not dir

First Order Transitions (Crystallization)7.1 Afirst order transition is a reversible change in phase ofa material; in the case of polymers, it is usual

21、ly crystallizationor melting of crystals (refer to Terminology D 1566: transition,first order). When a specimen is equilibrated at a temperatureat which crystallization is possible, changes in propertiesresulting from the crystallization may begin immediately orafter an induction period of up to sev

22、eral weeks. The time toreach an equilibrium state of crystallization is likewise widelyvariable. Both times are dependent on the material being testedand the temperature. Crystallization increases the hardness andmodulus.Aspecimen that has crystallized once may crystallizemuch more rapidly on subseq

23、uent tests, unless, in the mean-time, it has been heated sufficiently to destroy the crystalnuclei.7.2 Examples of materials that crystallize relatively rapidlyin certain temperature ranges include Thiokol A3polysulfiderubber, chloroprenes (excepting the RT types), natural rubber,and some butadiene

24、copolymers cured without sulfur or withlow sulfur. Materials that may require much longer times forcrystallization effects to become evident include butyl rubber,high sulfur cures of natural rubber, most silicone rubbers, somepolyurethane rubbers, RT types of chloroprene, and rubberscontaining fluor

25、ine.7.3 The temperature at which crystallization proceeds mostrapidly is specific to the polymer involved. For natural rubber,this is near 25C; for chloroprenes, 10C; for butadienecopolymers, 45C; for dimethyl silicones, 55C; forpolyester-type polyurethanes, 10C; and for butyl rubber,35C. Both above

26、 and below these temperatures, crystalliza-tion is slower. Accordingly, any attempt to compare materials(particularly those subject to change in properties resultingfrom crystallization or plasticizer time effects) on a basis ofexposure at a given temperature for a specified time is almostcertain to

Hold the test specimen at each test temperatureuntil it reaches thermal equilibrium. Calculated times requiredfor thermal equi

Thus, for a 25-mm thick slab, the times givenin Table 2 for a 2.5 mm thick sheet should be multiplied by 10.9.2.1 If the air temperat

37、ure is changed 100C, the tempera-ture differentials would be 10, 5, 2, and 1C, respectively, forthe respective time periods. For any temperature change, T, thetemperature differential in Table 2 should be multiplied byT/10.9.2.2 For example, if the test specimen described in TestMethods D 1053, at a

38、 room temperature of 20C is placed in airat 70C, the temperature change would be 90C; and at theend of 510 s, the temperature differential between the center ofthe specimen and air would be 0.9C, making the temperatureof the center of the test specimen 69.1C.9.2.3 The above times can be reduced at l

39、east 50 % byproviding air circulation with velocities of 4.5 m/s past thespecimen, and by about 85 % by using a circulating liquid bath.9.2.4 The required measurements of modulus, hardness, orbrittleness should be made as soon as the specimen has reachedequilibrium temperature except for any conditi
